    My New Routine

    Alright I made some changes to my previously posted routine. I cut down some of the reps for smaller body parts and wanted some consistency with the rep schemes. I really think it is a solid program for me.
    Anyway, what do you all think about my program? I recover very quick....usually within 2-3 days. With this routine I allow 4 days of recovery for each body part before it is worked again.
    Also I allow 1 day just for legs because I hit them so hard that I would have no energy to do anything else, plus they need a almost a week to recover.
    One thing I am worried about is recovery of CNS. I don't think it is a big problem with this routine but I'm concerned

    ANYWAY, please give ANY input you might have so that I can develop the best possible program!

    Day 1

    Biceps: Straight Bar Curls 3x8-10

    I like everything in your workout, except for the smith machine (bench, squat, and shoulder press) related exercises. I understand that you do not have a training partner, but I would switch these w/ raw bbell sqauts, benches, and military press.

    Just a thought.

    In nine years of bodybuilding you haven't yet discovered that kickbacks are a huge piece of sh1t? They are rubbish even as an isolation exercise, and there is only half the range of motion and you can't use any mass.

    Apart from that though, not a bad routine at all. Well thought out, and good idea to put corresponding bodyparts together...

    As far as kickback.....I NEVER do them so thats why I added them, LOL
    I did put a lot of though into this routine but I think I'm gonna tweak it just a LITTLE bit. Thanks for all the input bros!!

    I thought so. Judging by the obvious level of experience you had, I couldn't understand the kickbacks. Try them out and you will see they are for those skinny runts that walk round the gym with ILS or ABS syndrome. They are more of a rear delt exercise than a tricep exercise, HAHAH

    LMAO, rear delt static holds they should be called
